12 // Boost.System calls operating system API functions to implement system error category
13 // functions. Usually there is no question as to which API is to be used.
15 // In the case of MinGW or Cygwin/MinGW, however, both POSIX and Windows API's are
16 // available. Chaos ensues if other code thinks one is in use when Boost.System was
17 // actually built with the other. This header centralizes the API choice and prevents
18 // user definition of API macros, thus elminating the possibility of mismatches and the
19 // need to test configurations with little or no practical value.
